Laurier Everything you want to know about Canada’s 7 th Prime Minister

This is not Laurier

What do you think? Wilfrid Laurier Joseph Lavergne Armand Lavergne

Saskatchewan and Alberta Originally part of the NWT The premier of the territories wanted to create one large province called Buffalo Ont. and Que. politicians didn’t support Buffalo – Too big –Rival their own political power Decided there should be two provinces, Many argued for a horizontal split rather than a vertical

Saskatchewan and Alberta Formed on the same day (Sept. 1, 1905) Saskatchewan: –Named after the Kissiskatchiwan river (Swift Current) Alberta: –Named after Father Albert Lacombe (founder of an Episcopal borough 9 miles from Edmonton)

Alaskan Border Dispute 1867 US buys Alaska from Russians US base their claim on Russian maps Russian maps wrong. More land shown as being part of the American purchase than Russia had agreed to in the Anglo-Russian treaty of 1825

GOLD! ,000 people flood to the Yukon. Eventually more than $100,000,000 in gold mined. Now, trade route becomes important. Both Canada and the US want control.

1903 Tribunal 1903 both sides decide to settle the issue by a tribunal Each side would have three representatives The US would send three men, Canada would send two, and our third was to be a Brit. These six were supposed to be impartial

The Result In the end the two Canadians voted for the Canadian proposal, and the three US representatives voted for their proposal. The only surprise for Canadians was that Lord Alverstone voted with the Americans. US gets everything they asked for on Oct. 20th 1903 In Canada this is seen as betrayal

Canadian Reaction In British Columbia God Save The Queen was booed and people refused to sing In Ontario the Union Jack was flown at half mast at many public buildings. Within five years Canada establishes the foreign affairs department This also completely ended the debate for closer ties with the British

Canadian Navy Founded on May 4 th, 1910 In Europe there was an arms race and Laurier thought Canada should keep up Some wanted to purchase large battleships and create a powerful force Others wanted no navy at all How to make everyone happy?

Navy Cont… We purchased 2 aged ships from Britain –Niobe and Rainbow In effect this makes no one happy The ships are not powerful enough to do much except patrol fisheries This was one of the decisions that led to Laurier’s loss in 1911

HMCS Rainbow Launched in 1891 Didn’t sail between Sold to Canada in 1910

HMCS Niobe Built 1897 Used to transport troops and escort smaller ships Entered RCN in 1910

Dreadnought

Elections Laurier wins (Beats Tupper) Laurier wins (Beats Tupper) Laurier wins (Beats Borden) Laurier wins (Beats Borden) Laurier loses (Borden wins) Laurier is the only PM to ever win four consecutive majority governments

After the defeat of 1911 he stayed on as opposition leader until 1919 Supported Canada’s involvement in WWI, but not conscription Lost the election again in 1917 Passed away on Feb. 17, 1919 at the age of 77
